- Age: Fledge into adult plumage around age 15, considered adults at age 30; commonly reach age 150.
- Size: Medium or Small
- Speed: 30 feet.
- Glide: When falling, you can use your reaction to spread your arms, stiffen your wing feathers, and slow your descent to 60 feet per round, taking no fall damage when you land. If you would fall at least 10 feet in this way, you may fly up to your movement speed in any direction you choose, except upward, and land in the space you finish your movement. You cannot glide while carrying heavy weapons or wielding a shield (though you may drop any held items as part of your reaction to spread your arms). You cannot glide while wearing heavy armor or if you are encumbered.
- Wing Flap: As a bonus action, you can use your powerful feathered arms to propel yourself upward a distance equal to half your speed. You can use it in conjunction with a regular jump, but not while gliding.
- Strong Beak: Your large, curved beak is a natural weapon that you can use to make unarmed strikes. On a hit, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
- Striking Plumage: You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
- The Knack: You have proficiency with two sets of artisan’s tools of your choice. You can also use artisan’s tools that you are proficient with to attempt a check that would usually require a different set of tools. When using tools in this way, you add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to the check.
- Mimicry: You have the innate ability to convincingly replicate any sound you’ve heard (such as a voice saying something you’ve heard it say, a spell being cast, or the sound of a weapon striking stone). A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Birdfolk and two other languages of your choice. You can also understand Auran, though you can’t speak it.
